Kansas City Wanderlust 2018

Long weeks of cold weather can easily make the laziest among us stir-crazy. The Kansas City Wanderlust event presents a perfect atmosphere to work out the winter blahs and welcome the warm energies of spring! This zen event combines the soulful trifecta of a 5K, yoga and meditation into one day of re-energizing renewal.

Olathe H.O.P.E. Car Show

Providing monthly food boxes to those in need at its food bank location or via a mobile food pantry, the Olathe H.O.P.E. Car Show, featuring family activities, vendors, and a surprisingly delicious hot dog meal, benefits the New Hope Food Pantry. Give back to your Olathe community by volunteering to help while you enjoy the festivities!

Kansas Speedway Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 400

Although the Kansas Speedway provides racing entertainment year-round, we thought it was important to include it as a family-friendly spring event. The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 400 offers all day racing spectaculars sure to excite the whole family.
